BioMensio Ltd, announces today a €2.5 million funding round from private investors, VTT Ventures, Siemens
Technology Accelerator and Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation. In addition to the capital
injection, the investor consortium provides BioMensio with access to extensive knowledge and an industry
network.

"BioMensio is now set to develop a smart handheld bio-screening sensor and associated cloud services to
determine the presence of specific biomolecules. Rapid and accurate on-site testing enables fast and targeted
action in the presence of multiple unwanted substances from a biological liquid based sample. The BioMensio
biosensors allow cost efficient application development for businesses and governmental organizations in food
and beverage, healthcare, security and defense segments as well as environmental monitoring area", comments
Ilari Antila, CEO.

Universality and simplicity are the main advantages of BioMensio label-free technologies. No labelling or
analyte modifications are necessary unlike with traditional techniques. This makes the BioMensio sensor
inherently universal and applicable to any analyte, or even DNA, on the lab-on-a-chip platform.
